Hendrix appeared at the first Isle of Wight Festival in 1970. Giddings said he’s pitched Prince for a couple of years. “He seemed quite excited by the idea,” Giddings explained to Loaded. “I’d love it to happen this year.”

Update – Tuesday, February 9th at 3:05 p.m. CT: Prince has denied his interest in doing a Hendrix covers set. Giddings might want to give him another call.

Isle of Wight’s 2016 installment, set for June 9th – 12th, features a lineup headlined by Queen + Adam Lambert, Stereophonics, and Faithless along with other notable acts including Iggy Pop, The Kills, Pendulum, and Buzzcocks, with many more acts still to be announced.

Giddings said he’s yet to nail down Prince, partially because he’s difficult to get in touch with. “It’s very hard to know who Prince’s representative is. He’s a bit elusive. But he’s very ahead of the game and one of the most talented musicians the world has turned out. He’s welcome to come any day of the week.”
